Mhmm.

Lincoln Restler

1:19:23

From anonymous people.

1:19:24

I get at least a letter a week from somebody who's worked at DLP or is working at DLP who is deeply concerned about your management of the agency.

1:19:32

Are concerned.

1:19:33

We've heard information from nonprofit providers that contract with DLP that indicate that the intensive community monitoring program has been disbanded.

1:19:44

Happy to hear that that's not true, but we would love more information on how

Juanita Holmes

1:19:47

The number has increased tremendously with ICM, tremendously.

1:19:51

Reason being because they used to have a smaller unit that monitored only 20 individuals in each respective borough with the exception of Staten Island with 10.

1:20:01

The way I did it is now that any and every probation officer who manages case by risk level, not by classification, can now manage a ICM case.

1:20:12

So therefore allowing for us to take on more ICM cases.

1:20:16

As it stands today currently, we have an increase in that exist in that formerly existing number of 90.

1:20:24

I think we had over 120 now.

1:20:26

The judge is aware of it, they like it.

1:20:29

If the counsel would help

Lincoln Restler

1:20:30

follow-up with the data that would be

Juanita Holmes

1:20:31

Yeah, it afforded us to take on more ICMs with the process that I put in place.

Lincoln Restler

1:20:36

We would love to get some information in writing on that.
